A Geography of Refugees: Some Illustrations From Africa∗

L'exil irakien à Damas

“…Depuis les années 1970, les études sur les populations réfugiées ont produit de très nombreuses catégories pour décrire leurs mouvements ainsi que leurs modes d'installations, telles que réfugié urbain, réfugié en camp, réfugié auto-installé, etc. (Black, 1991;Kunz, 1981;Rogge, 1977;Zetter, 2007).
